If I remember, corner lights are 3 wires because they are on with the headlights and parking lights, and change brightness when the turn signals are on. If the sidemarkers are only on when the turn signals are on, they only need to be two wires.

And no, I'm not going to tell you exactly what to do. I'm going to get you thinking about what needs to be done so you can figure it out.

If you want the easy way out then you should be able to find exactly what you need from Google.
